Campus Safety

Never have I seen or heard of any incident worth reporting in my campus. Sounds strange but never have I seen anyone will alcohol or drugs. Just in case though, there r emergency phones all over campus which is always nice to have.

Greek Life

Sorry, no Greek life.

Clubs and Activities

So much Variety. Every week there is some event going on. Being a part of it amazing.

Great for these types of students

People who don't want large campuses. Ours is pretty small but beautiful. Also commuters are everywhere so don't worry if you don't want to live in a dorm, no one lives in one here.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have a THON program! This includes raising money for pediatric cancer. We raised 13,343,517.33 in the past year.

Bang for the buck

It's not as expensive as other great colleges but at the same time it is. This is factoring in the books and other things required for college. I would make the same decision to go to penn state in a minute, although I don't particularly like having a lot of loans to pay off.

What to do for fun

JOIN CLUBS! I cannot stress this enough. This will help you make plenty of friends and you will have a blast! Plus it's a nice little break from schoolwork if that stresses you out.

Food and Dining

There is a pretty good variety of food. It's pretty much impossible to look everywhere in the cafeteria and not find something that catches your eye. The only concern is that some items cost too much and aren't worth it.

Dorm Life

At the abington campus, we don't have dorms.

Academic Rigor

Most teachers will help you, even if you think they are too busy or don't want to help. Just make sure you ask for help not the day before a huge assignment is due. Also Penn state is really strict about academic integrity. Plagiarizing is not tolerated.

Tips for prospective students

College is harder than high school so be ready for that! Try to get involved in activities! It's a great way to meet new people and friends for life.

In three sentences

Honestly I love my school. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to go to this school and further my education. Having such a friendly environment doesn't hurt ether.

Academic Rigor

Classes are challenging if they are intended to be. If you work hard, follow what the teachers ask of you and get help when needed, you will pass no problem.

In three sentences

It is a really beautiful campus. There are a lot of activities and clubs to get involved, as well as fun activities to do during the common break (which is lunch time basically). The teachers are overall nice, obviously every school has its bad professors, but I really love it here.

The Abington county police frequently checks on the campus to ensure all roads are safe. No crimes or violence ever occurs in campus.

Abington contracts with a private catering service. All foods are fresh, the staff is friendly and of course the meals are delicious. Though it may be a little pricey to eat on a daily basis. The cafeteria is also clean as well, but crowded.

Dorm Life

This campus is technically a commuter campus. However, for those who come from out of state, are given the opportunity to do off-house and stay at College Station while paying at an affordable price. College Station is built as a tall apartment. Kept clean and with large rooms.

Academic Rigor

As a first year student, the general education requirement is straightforward and organized. All subjects to learn are basic and the professors are all helpful and qualified. All classroom settings is small, making it easier for students to keep in touch with professors and bring up any issues to be resolved with.

Tips for prospective students

When attending to this campus, do not be afraid to open and talk to others. This campus shows a wide range of diversity with student population. This basically means that there are many different people from different neighborhoods or even states, that all come with their own culture that sparks interest for everybody. Everybody is always eager to learn from one another and befriend with whoever.

Overall is good, amazing.

Finish things as soon as possible, especially register for the class, everyone wants to get into a class with a interesting professor. Respect to others, and they will show you respect, too. Make more friends, so you will know which class is easy and which one is hard to get an A.

In three sentences

This college is not big and not small, you can spend ten minutes from the North side walk to the south side. Teachers are nice in here, class is almost same as high school. People are nice, no violence, smile everywhere!

What to do for fun

What is there not to do for fun? Students at Abington are always occupied whether they are at the gym working out, playing basketball, running up and down the hills of the campus, or even sitting by the pond doing their homework in nature. Every year Abington has an activity fair, where students recruit other students to get involved in anything that interest them. There are so many different clubs, it would be impossible not to find one that pertains to your interests. The beauty of it, is that students are always so contempt with each other and what they are doing.

Food and Dining

A great way to get to meet people is common break. Everyone has the same lunch break at either 12:00 or 12:15 pm; all the students sit together, or can even join their professors! WhatÃ¢Â?Â?s the best part? You can take your lunch out by the pond, and sit in the sun. The pond is beautiful, relaxing, and very popular due to its scenery and the mood it provides. The food is delicious, and they have just about anything you could think of- pizza, salads, fries, fruit, wraps, you name it. Breakfast in the morning is convenient, if you are on a tight budget because they prices are a bargain!

Dorm Life

Although there are not dorms on campus, Abington offers off-campus apartments for students who come from all over the world, or even for students who just want to get out of the house! Fortunately for students living in the off-campus apartments, there are shuttle busses that pick them up, bring them to the main entrance of Abington, and drop them back off at home! The buses are very convenient for students living in the apartments without transportation.

Academic Rigor

Students, who are struggling, whether it is with homework, sports, or any college-based material, will always have someone who is there to help. Here at Abington, we have a learning center for academics, a career center for people struggling with jobs, advisors who help your every step when choosing classes, and so many more people who are there to help you. AbingtonÃ¢Â?Â?s staff is excellent in what they do, and it is their job to make your experience as a college student wonderful.

Tips for prospective students

Abington has an absolutely beautiful campus! It almost feels as if you're in the middle of nowhere, and everything is one place. I find that extremely beneficial for students who fear getting lost on their first day at college- that will not happen here at Abington! Also, incoming students may have wanted to attend Main Campus, but did not get accepted; luckily for them, two years here is a guaranteed acceptance to Main Campus! It is truly a great opportunity given to students, and any Penn State Campus has a lot to offer.

In three sentences

Penn State Abington is perfectly well rounded and an excellent choice for anyone attending college. Between all the different clubs, majors and events, there are so many diverse people in one place. However, that is the beauty of it; everyone is overwhelmed with school spirit, and it just makes everything about Abington THAT more fun!

John from Wayne, PA

The campus security does a great job in patrolling the parking lots and ensuring the safety of the students on campus.

What to do for fun

I personally can always be found around the athletics building either at the fitness gym, the tennis courts or playing basketball. I also spend a lot of my time in the library. There are several computer labs on campus in each of the four main buildings and there is usually always something happening during common break.

Food and Dining

There is a wide spread of choices and the opportunity to customize what you want to eat!

Dorm Life

Their are no dorms on this campus as it is a commute campus.

Academic Rigor

The classes aren't as challenging as they could be, but this all depends on how a student studies and manages their time.

Tips for prospective students

This is a great campus to start and finish at, unfortunately not all majors are able to be finished on the Abington campus.

In three sentences

The campus is friendly, diverse and everyone is willing to help. There is always something going on to lighten the stress of studies and the professors really care about how students do in their classes.

Very rigorous. Has a lot of good potential in future students to have competitive work load.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you stay on top of all your studying ! Make sure that you dont procrastinate with all your hard subjects. Make sure you have a lot of study time for yourself.

In three sentences

I truly believe the education i have and am receiving here is the most amazing ever. People and faculty are a pleasure to be around. The time you spend here will fly by, and you will want to come back !

Campus Safety

Since the campus can get really dark at night, some students might not want to walk alone to their cars. However, for the comfort of the students there are yellow boxes located all around campus that allow students to call for security. Security will even walk students to their cars at night!

Clubs and Activities

Although I am not a participant in the school clubs, I have noticed that there are many of which students can participate in. One that I have considered was a Latino club. However, I do not like to fall behind in classes, so I prefer to engage in short daily activities when I feel I should give myself a break. Short activities mean I do not have to commit, which is important because not committing can give a person a bad reputation in my opinion. So, I prefer work now, play later.

What to do for fun

On the daily basis, students can attend some free event that takes place during common break, which is the lunch hour where no student has classes. One time I attended a comedy show during common break and another time when the weather was pleasing I watched students watched a guy do what was called freaky magic tricks.

Food and Dining

The food at the Abington campus has a small selection, but because microwaves are available, students are not always obligated to eat school food.

Dorm Life

While Penn State Abington is considered a commuter campus, some students that have moved from far distances have been able to find apartments near by. Students are able to take free transportation to and from the campus that the school provides. However, my experience is different. I chose the Abington campus to save money on tuition, so the dorm life has not been an experience for me. Besides, I prefer to be home with my family.

Academic Rigor

At Penn State Abington, spirit is important, but academics is top priority. Not only are instructors willing to help during their hours of free time, but the Learning Center is also available. At the Learning Center students get one on one help from tutors that specialize in the particular subject students need help in. Another way academic rigor is stressed is by the way students make plans to have study groups before quizzes and exams. This allows students to see different points of view, but rather from a peers understanding.

Tips for prospective students

For students who want to learn how to grow Penn State is a good option. Also, Penn State can help students make connections, so they can learn about other careers or build on their own interests.

In three sentences

Penn State Abington is a campus with spirit. It has high academic standards. Lastly. the school name benefits its students for the future because it is widely known.

Geanine from Philadelphia, PA

Food and Dining

Dorm Life

No dorms

Academic Rigor

Some classes are harder than others

Tips for prospective students

Live close to campus especially if your relying on public transportation. There are 4 computer labs on campus but, there is rarely anywhere on campus that is quiet enough to study: good times to study on campus is in the library between 9am-11am or 5pm-9pm. The cafe is over priced but, their are resturants around campus that are more resonabily priced. My favorite professors are neuman and seesholtz: they have difficult classes but, you will learn. The easy professors are Haunter, Shoeman, Mohammad ali(psych 200),and Georges

In three sentences

This campus makes you fill like a second class citizen. Some faculty and staff members are helpful but, most aren't. One positive aspect of this campus is that there are few great professor on this campus but, they are the ones that make all the stresses of school worth while.

Stefanie from Huntington Valley, PA

Danny from Philadelphia, PA

During my time here, there were no trouble around. It is in a secluded area. The safety patrol roam the campus not as often as I would like.

Greek Life

If you want to experience the Greek life, this is NOT the campus for you. We only have one fraternity and one sorority here.

Clubs and Activities

Many clubs to choose from. There is a mandatory common break from 12-1 pm daily. Most clubs are during this time, so there is always time for you to join a club during that time.

Great for these types of students

This campus is great for students who live in the area and want to stay at home, prefer small class sizes, or who wants to get into main campus their junior year.

What to do for fun

There are many clubs that you can get involved. If there is not one that interest you, you can always start a new club. It is relatively easy to start a club.

Food and Dining

The food is okay; however, there is only a small selection you can choose from. The campus have a buffet and many fast food areas around it that makes up for it. There is no all-you-can-eat buffet style dining option on campus.

Dorm Life

There is no dorms. If you do not live nearby, there is apartments you can rent relatively close to the campus.

Academic Rigor

Some of the classes are hard; some of the classes are not. It depends on how prepared you were before getting on campus.

Tips for prospective students

If you decide to come here, schedule your classes as early as possible. Although the small class sizes are good for individual attention, it also feels up really quick.

In three sentences

It's a nice little campus. There is no dorming, so a great place for anyone that wants to commute. If you like smaller class sizes for more individual attention, this college is for you.

Philadelphia, PA

There are a variety of clubs also there is a computer lap in almost every building. On certain days the gym is opened for students to play badminton, basketball, tennis, dance, ping pong, etc.

Food and Dining

In the Lares building where students have lunch had a cafeteria that sells a variety of school: salads, pizza, cheese steaks, hoagie, soup, coffee, snacks, etc. There is also a small cafe in another building where students can buy drinks similar to those sell at starbucks.

Dorm Life

We do not have dorm right on campus; however, the school does provide apartments (dorms) around the area of Abington. There is a shuttle bus that pick/drop students who dorm at campus and back at the apartment on a schedule.

Academic Rigor

Intended students should have great time management and organization skills because sometimes everything is piled on one week. Academically, as long as you come to class, pay attention, take notes, do homework, study daily, everything should be fine. If students need help, professors are willing to meet you at their office and there is also a learning center, where you get more help.

Tips for prospective students

Never neglect to do homework because it is very helpful to pass exams doing them. Also, do pay attention in class because most classes are lectures and professors do not write everything out on the board like high school teachers. Remember to attend all of your classes because college is expensive. Be active around campus because it releases stress and it is a great way to have fun.

In three sentences

Penn State Abington is a small campus. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing environment to attend college, this is the right place for you. The staffs and professors are very friendly and helpful.

The best campus safety by far. Always on call (though in my experience never needed, because it is that safe), continually patrolling, and always on duty owkring at their full potential.

Clubs and Activities

Various clubs and activities for all fields of study that are very active on campus and others in the network.

Great for these types of students

Local, small class sizes, working, focused

Bang for the buck

For getting the type of education from a great staff from such a small campus compared to main, this is worth it. It is a great transitional campus for those who do not want to go to a big school and stay local while getting a great college experience. It is also great for those who want to be fiscally responsible if you want to stay local and work while going to school. For those who want to go to main campus eventually, this is a good stepping stone to start your college career.

What to do for fun

There are a lot of clubs to join on this campus. The athletic building has everything from a ping pong area, tv center, full court gym to a fitness center. You can also take to the fields to relax or play any outdoor sport you see fit.

Food and Dining

The cafe is a highly popular place at Lares. They are open from morning to night with a variety of food for every taste. With this great food comes great prices which is good for any college student.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms for this is a satellite/commuter campus. There are many apartments available for those that want a faux college experience of living on campus. If you can find those to live with then great, if not, staying at home isn't a bad option.

Academic Rigor

Everything given by the professors can be done at a timely fashion where they will be flexible with the students knowing that most of them work full or part-time. But you will still need to put the work in if you do want to get something out of it.

Tips for prospective students

Do not buy you're books right away, for the professors may change the curriculum as well as not use the book in its entirety. If you do not intend to use the bookstore, be sure you have the textbook's author and title so you can buy from an outside source for a lot less money. This will be less expensive for you and will avoid buying a book valued around $100 that will collect dust.

In three sentences

For those who are looking for a great transition into main campus, starting or continuing their college careers, this is the campus to do so. The classes are just the right size to obtain the information provided by professors as well as having the option to have a good relationship between them. For being a satellite campus, the Abington campus replicates the environment of University Park but with a hometown feel where you are not a number, but a student.

Robert from Yardley, PA

abington campus is very safe - no issues whatsoever! it's also gorgeous here. it feels like home.

Clubs and Activities

Food and Dining

the food on campus could be better, but there are plenty of restaurants close by to the campus.

Dorm Life

i'm a commuter student - there are no dorms on this campus.

Tips for prospective students

college offers more independence and demands a lot more effort. don't enter college unless you're prepared to work hard. the teachers i've had have been very supportive, but one has to ask for the help and show initiative.

In three sentences

penn state is an outstanding university. abington campus, where i currently attend, is very supportive of all its students. i look forward to moving to main campus in the future but will miss this campus when i leave.

like all universities, they are very strict when it comes to doing your own work. also, most professors make attendance a course requirement, they will give you a few unexcused absences, but after that it will effect your grade.

Tips for prospective students

no matter how early you arrive to campus, parking is always going to be an issue, be prepared to walk. there are a lot of big hills, so if you end up having to park far away, it might be a long walk up a hill to get to class.

In three sentences

penn state abington is a very beautiful campus. there is no on campus housing, therefore everyone commutes which makes finding parking very difficult. there are a good amount of clubs, however there is no greek life, which may have something to do with the fact that there is no on-campus housing.

Penn State is one of the nation's best schools, provides an excellent education, has the most enthusiastic student body and isn't terribly debt-consuming. What else could anyone want or need?

Am enjoying being here

PSU is such a remarkably accepting and warm school. The atmosphere, the student body and faculty... absolutely phenomenal. Everyone and everything gives the sense of being a second home and family.

Am learning a lot

The professors couldn't be any more overqualified! I feel as if I have learned more in a week than any other student in the country. Not only are the professors willing and wanting to teach, but they know their stuff. I'm constantly learning more than I anticipate in each of my classes because of the drive the professors pour into their subjects and students.

Great for these types of students

Penn State Abington is a great place for the student who is not yet sure of what his major is going to be. The basics are covered, in detail, and even if you should decide to move on to another school, the education received should transfer easily to any other place you would want to go. Penn State Abington also offers a great deal of extra-curricular activities; and more than just sports, although the sports are an up and coming thing, for both men and women. Penn State Abington currently is a member of both the NEAC and ECAC and has earned a Division III status in the NCAA. They currently have teams in 13 intercollegiate sports including: women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, baseball, men's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, softball, and men's and women's tennis. There are groups and clubs of all sorts, and the staff are more than happy to help you start and even fund your own organization, if it is not already currently on campus! This is a great place to be!

Tips for prospective students

Penn State Abington has no on-campus dormitories, but can assist the non-local student to find housing in the area. Likewise, because it is a good place to start, the earlier you can apply, the better. The decision as to whether to transfer to University Park, or another campus can always be made at a later time, especially after getting a good start in the basics needed for any and all degrees. Being a Land Grant School, the tuition is much less than practically any other College or University in the Commonwealth, so applications come in early and many people apply. They do look at the entire individual, so just because your SAT scores aren't the best doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have a shot at acceptance. Likewise, the same goes for scholarship and grant applications and programs.

Bang for the buck

What can I say ... This is PENN STATE! One of the top Universities in the country; with opportunities and answers for all of your educational needs. The ability to not only turn out the best kinds of scholars, but also well-rounded individuals, who are an asset to the school and the community, as well as to themselves. I am a legacy student (meaning that other family members have attended and graduated from here: father, grandfather, aunt, great-uncle and 2 cousins), but I am starting to see that Penn State is more than just a place to learn and receive an eventual degree, but truly is A WAY OF LIFE! There is so much more to Penn State than just football (although that's pretty darned good) and the Abington Campus is now in the process of moving into a league of its' own, becoming an individual force to be reckoned with, as well as being a part of, and able to draw on, the vast resources of a powerful whole. They say that one of every 27 college graduates in the country has some manner of ties to Penn State, and I agree. It truly IS a lifestyle, and it is a matter of pride when we declare that ... We are ...PENN STATE!

Am enjoying being here

I decided to start with a smaller campus, a student body about as large as that of my Philadelphia Public High School. I will have the ability to eventually go to University Park (if i want) and move up to a campus that is as big as a small city! Or, if I so desire, I can stay at Abington for 4 years and earn a full baccalaureate degree in many majors, without leaving home. The campus is in a beautiful rural setting, is not too big, and makes every day a delight. There are both old and new buildings and people who are always willing to help you. A bookstore on campus, as well as a full cafeteria in the Student Union Building and a snack-serving lounge in the Science Building, along with a full and well stocked library. A very relaxing place to spend my time between classes.

Am learning a lot

I have just started and have already learned so much, that my horizons have completely changed. The teachers are so good, and so involved with their subjects and students, that they have started a fire in me which has caused me to re-think my goals and expand my horizons.
